  • Plotting Files in NeXtMidas:
    • The PLOT command is used for plotting files, pipes, images and maps.
    • PLOT automatically determines how to plot a files by its' type. For example:
      • By default Midas type 1000 files are line plots.
        By default Midas type 2000 files are raster plots.
    • In many cases, how the file is plotted can be overridden with the TYPE= input.
    • nM> plot fftdemo{FS=10} type=raster 
    • Mouse Interaction
      • The middle mouse button (MMB) is generally used to popup menus on PLOT. In fact, this is generally how it is throughout NeXtMidas graphics.
      • See Mouse Interaction in a Plot for more details.
X-Midas Users Take Note:
The NeXtMidas PLOT command takes the place of XPLOT, XGEOPLOT, XRASTER, XRTPLOT, XRTRASTER, and XRTSURFACE in X-Midas.
